Director of Development

Garrett began his journey at Northwestern Mutual in 2018, interning for a private wealth management team. From there, he was introduced to Cole, joining the team as a full-time associate at the beginning of 2021. Garrett has a dynamic role, with a focus on client relationship management, insurance and investment operations, financial planning, and office development. Garrett is a licensed insurance producer with the state of Colorado, as well as a FINRA licensed investment and variable contract representative.

Originally from a small suburb outside of Chicago, Illinois, Garrett’s connection to Colorado was solidified at a young age after visiting family here as a child. Upon graduating from the University of Denver in 2020 with a degree in Communication and Marketing, he made the decision to stay in Colorado. He and his partner, Cayley, reside in the Union Station neighborhood in Denver. Outside of work, Garrett loves to snowboard, hike, cycle, golf, and travel.
